In Short

• AstraZeneca withdraws Covid vaccine globally, cites commercial reasons
• Withdrawal not linked to admission of rare side effect's risks
• Vaxzevria no longer authorized for use in European Union

The pharmaceutical giant AstraZeneca's Covid-19 vaccine is being withdrawn globally after the company acknowledged in court documents that it can cause a rare and dangerous side effect. However, the pharma giant said that the vaccine is being removed from the markets for commercial reasons.

The company said that the vaccine is no longer being manufactured or supplied, the Telegraph said on Tuesday.
